The SENKEN Shogun is an 8-inch chef's knife built around a VG10 steel core clad in 33 layers of Damascus on each side, for a 67-layer blade rated at 62 HRC. A 15-degree double-bevel edge and full tang give it the fine, controlled cuts Japanese knives are known for, while the contoured G10 handle stays firm in a wet hand. It ships with a fitted sheath and a gift box, which most knives in its class do not include. It suits cooks who want a hard, long-lasting edge and a rocker-friendly profile, and who accept that such a hard blade needs care and hand washing.
